Ditch the BBQ: the French fashionitas are falling in love with solar cookers

OK ... now the French ( who are sort of known for cooking) are falling in love with solar cookers.
Bonaldi , a very trendy TV star, shows the huge own and the travel one on prime time national TV.
Worth watching to see the models  even if you are not fluent!

The reason why we will see more and more of them? They  cost very little ( large model is worth 350 euros) and the energy is free (in todays economy that already sounds like a miracle formula) .

And they are developing 'sun storage' qualities for when the sun is not out. Voila!

Might as well get used to them: I am sure designers will offer improvements.

Movable swimming pool floors

Movable_pool_floors Movable swimming pool floors have made it possible to maximise the use of your swimming pool with variable depth and also use the space taken up by the swimming pool for other purposes...which in an urban context always makes sense. It also means that small spaces can use these concealing technologies to be versatile ..and be adapted to the people using the garden ( kids, parents..) Or the time and weather...

With the touch of a button, an entire pool floor is fully adjusted to any water depth or becomes level to pool surround thus serving as a dry deck or dance floor. 

Based on your requirements, a company likeTechnology Pools can engineer a movable swimming pool floor system for a new pool project or retrofit an existing facility. That will give you an outdoor pool into a parking space all at the press of a button.
